gaining weight advices-5'6'' about 105 Ibs (Underweight) [problem?]

I'm 14 :D

so.. I went to the doctor the other day, and they said that I'm underweight. My mother also says that too! I've been trying and trying to gain weight but its not working. I gain a couple of ounces and thats it :cry:

I've tried 250 colories shakes and tryed eating alot. I don't exercise besides stay in my house. I do go number 2 mostly everyday.

So do I have a problem? Am I eating wrong? Am I diabetic?(It kinda runs in the family)? btw I got a blood test just today.

btw If I gain muscle, will I gain weight? Will it still count as underweight? Edit: My garage is like a mini gym

eat alot and become extremely lazy

EDIT: i just read your post and i'd say that you should eat alot at night and less during the day.

Eat as much as you feel you need and work out as much as you can force yourself to. That'll get your weight up.

Its hard for me to put on weight too, but try eating 1 box of ice cream sandwiches a large pizza, large cesar salad and throw in allot of chinesse food and hamburgers and drink lots of coke every day, i did that for a couple mothns and gained so much it took me a year to lose it all.

work out. A lot. Also eat a lot of peanut butter (lots o protein) and less carbs.

An if all else fails...

I feel ya man. I'm a twig too :( hamstergeddon

I use to put lots of peanut butter on my sandwhiches and my mom told me its bad.. I don't want to make her mad again. and also she got mad since they have to keep buying peanut butter since I use all of it less in 2 weeks.

That's why.

*Shrugs.* I'm underweight as well. It just may be your metabolism. My metabolism is extremely fast.ayanami_rei

Same here I am the topic creators age but I am losing weight fast ever since school let out. I was actually starting to build muscle until I got out and started missing lunches because I was either playing video games or sleep. So I didn't get enough protein to maintain my muscle fibers so now I weigh about 119-120 and I am 5 foot 6 inches tall when I used to weigh about 125-130 pound at the end of the year but at least I still have a low body fat percentage. I am getting some weights today and I haven't played any games lately so I will see if I can increase my weight.

What does it matter? You're just underweight, it's not like OMG SARS :o

i'm 110/113 pounds, 5'5'' and 16 and I don't care

Hopefully it is just your metabolism. Once you hit at about 17 you should have a normal one.heyfunboy

Muscle weighs a lot more then fat, so working out would be the best way to gain weight. Don't add unhealthy weight by just eating, you could run into problems down the road.peeviness

Just eat fastfood all day and you'll gain weight in no time. KFC chicken is good, but the McD fries will really help you out :D

If you don't gain weight fast and get all your necessary vitamins, you might not grow too tall. I know he's not at the full phase of height development, but he should be doing the right things. I really wish I would have drinken a lot of milk when I was 13-16, I might have grown to like 6'1" instead of being stuck at 5'9".

I'm 22 and 5'6 or so. I weigh 130.

So, you might be a bit underweight. Depends on your skeletal structure too.

well muscle weighs more than fat, try to build a bit of muscle, and eat more, push ups are golden

you should be excersizing, trying to put on muscle.

go weight lift, avoid cardio and take in about 3500 calories a day high carbs and high protein.

get a weight gainer.

I'm about 5'9" and about 120 pounds; I, um, don't have any advice since I'm underweight too.

being skinny is good, your body shape is ectomorph, although this body type finds it the hardest to put on muscle, if done correctly can have one of the best looks.

You want to put on weight? with what you said, u have a high metobolism, the easiest way to put on weight when your like that is to actually put on muscle, a good way to do this, as soon as you get up in the morning, do exercise, pull ups, sit ups whatever. Then eat loads, and always keep your body full in the day and night.

Rinse, repeat and you should ecentually get results.

Note: dont do too much strenious exercise after the morning, you need to let your muscles heal.

With the metabolism you probably have you wont be able to consume enough raw mass ( pounds of food ) to make a difference without making yourself sick and unhealthy.

Muscle weights more than fat so you can gain total weight by gaining more muscle but if you are of a small frame already there wont be a ton that you can gain in this area.

You can try eating smaller portions throughout the day and then eat a larger meal right before you go to sleep in an attempt to throw some unchecked pounds into your system while giving your metabolism little chance to burn them off.

Aside from this you could use substitutes but all you would accomplish is a destroyed bowel which leads to a world of other problems i wont go into.

I think I need to gain some weight more. I think 125 lbs at 18 and 5'11" is no good.Lord_Omikron666
